The words "branch of the Army corresponding" are substituted for the words "same arm, corps, or department", to conform to sections 3063 and 3064 of title 10. In the second sentence, the words "organization of the Air Force corresponding" are substituted for the words "same arm, corps, or department", since the Air Force is not organized by statute into branches, arms, corps, or departments. The word "members" is substituted for the words "officers, warrant officers, and enlisted men". The words "service school" are substituted for the words "military-service school of the United States". Reference to the United States Air Force Academy is inserted to reflect its establishment by the Air Force Academy Act (63 Stat. 47).

AMENDMENTS

2006—Pub. L. 109–163 substituted "State, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Virgin Islands" for "State or Territory or Puerto Rico" in introductory provisions.

1988—Pub. L. 100–456, which directed the substitution of "Territory or Puerto Rico" for "Territory, Puerto Rico, or the Canal Zone," in subsec. (a), was executed to the introductory provisions of this section as the probable intent of Congress.
